"You just said...where have I been?"
Ye Gengyi's tone of voice was still calm.
But in Tokijin Junya's ears, the northern representative clearly realized one thing - it's over, everything is over.
He felt a chill surge into his heart, and the blood in his body seemed to solidify.
No, this is not the feeling.
The bone-chilling pain from his wrist gave Shijin Junzai no time to think, so he let out a muffled groan and staggered to one knee on the floor.
The door is fully open.
The white horse detective also walked out of it.
He put on his gloves and bent down to pick up the handkerchief soaked in ether, put it into the evidence bag, looked at Shi Jinjunzai and said:
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. You really came."
"you……"
Shi Jinrunzai was stunned, "It turns out that the iron wire on the door is..."
"Idiot, of course I helped fix it."
Hattori Heiji appeared at the corner of the entrance near the stairs. It was the closest place in the entire corridor where he could hide his body and be closest to the light switch.
Although he was quite critical of Brother Geng's arrangement for him to hide here, after seeing Junya Tokijin passing by in front of him in the dark without realizing that he was standing here, a certain black man still couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but think about it...
Are you really that dark?
No! It must have something to do with this dress!
Hattori Heiji looked down at the all-black school uniform and thought he found the reason.
"Why? You, why did you come to kill me?"
Kotani Renzo's body and voice were trembling.
Thinking about an hour ago, if Ye Gengyi and Hakuba Tan hadn't come over, then he would definitely end up with the same fate as Tsutsuo Hiroshi.
"Of course because you know..."
Koshizui Nanatsuki walked down the stairs with Conan, "No, Junya Tokizu must have mistakenly thought that you knew the secret room's method."
What?
Jiagu Lian Sanyi was startled.
Secret room technique?
At the same time, Conan, Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Tan also showed a little surprise.
Before that, due to environmental factors that were inconvenient for detailed communication, and Ye Gengyi's personality, they did not know the specific reasons for the incident.
He came over to cooperate simply out of his trust in Ye Gengyi and wanted to come over to confirm whether Tokijin Junzai would really kill Kabutani Renzo.
Therefore, it is not surprising that they were surprised when Nanatsuki Koshimizu, the most junior detective among them, directly revealed the suspected motive of Junya Tokatsu's murder at this moment when the information had not yet been released.
It’s just...is her reasoning correct?
It has to be said that Judging from the senses, Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Tan still have doubts about Koshimizu Nanatsuki's strength.
Needless to say, she has only cracked 100 cases. In addition to seeing through the identity of Hiroshi Tsuchio's fake director, has this female high school detective done anything outstanding since arriving on the island?
To a certain extent, this sense of non-existence is even worse than that of the frizzy Hattori Heiji.
Here, three detectives, two large and one small, are still puzzled by the lack of sufficient information and their inability to connect the fragmented clues.
But as a party involved, Shi Jinrunzai, who was still complacent about the secret room technique a few minutes ago, immediately woke up. He looked up at Ye Gengyi, gritted his teeth and said:
"You deliberately revealed the adhesive thing to Xiaosheng! You already know the secret room's methods, right?"
"You're welcome, that's right." Ye Gengyi said.
"You guy..."
Tokijin Junya choked and felt a little tight in his chest.
"Don't look at me like that," Ye Geng tightened his palms and threatened, "You have such a bright mind, you shouldn't forget that classmate Baima and I came together. In other words... as long as we look back If you collude and lie that you, the murderer, attempted to commit violence against him and premeditated his murder, then I won't have any problem even if I beat you up now."
The white horse detective turned his head in astonishment: "..."
Has this person always been like this...
Conan: "..."
Hattori Heiji:"……"
Just get used to it, get used to it...
"I'm sorry, may I ask...what exactly is the secret room you are talking about?"
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Jiagu Liansan's forehead. He didn't want to speak now, but... after all, his life was at stake, and there were five detectives standing and kneeling in front of him. If he didn't ask clearly, he would feel a little uncomfortable.
Coupled with the blooming lavender in the room behind him, the old housekeeper had a very bad feeling.
"Yes, brother Gengyi..."
Conan took the topic and said, "You'd better explain to everyone why he wants to come over and kill Mr. Kotani when he mentions adhesives?"
"Let Yuesui-san say it."
Ye Gengyi looked at the only female detective in the room and said, "I thought you couldn't help it, but I didn't expect you to be able to keep your composure."
"Huh...thank you for the compliment," Koshizui Nanatsuki shook his head and sighed: "The situation is almost completely under your control, and I find that I can't win against you based on my IQ, so I have no choice but to calm down."
Huh? What are they talking about?
Conan, Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Tan were all confused.
"Okay, let's get back to the subject. Regarding the method of the secret room, you only need to go to Mr. Tsutsumi's room now and carefully check the window..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki said: "All the screws on the window frame have been shortened, and what is used to fix it now is actually carpentry adhesive."
"I see……"
Detective Baima said thoughtfully: "No wonder Shijin said that it would take an hour to complete the secret room technique. In other words, he would appear in front of us at that time and ask everyone to go to dinner not only to slow down everyone's investigation. The time is actually for waiting for the adhesive to dry out, but why..."
He looked at Tokijin Junya and said, "If I'm not wrong, the window in your room should be fixed with adhesive. If that's the case, why did you go back on your word and deny that you had the means to unlock the secret room?"
"Huh." Toki Jinjunzai turned his head and said nothing.
"Could it be because of the secret room murder in the Lavender House?" The scene in the restaurant from before appeared in Conan's mind.
The turning point started when Nanatsuki Koshimizu mentioned this incident.
"Little brother, you are very smart..."
Koshimi Nanatsuki said calmly: "Yes, that's why. By the way, the person who tricked everyone into coming to this island is actually me, and the ultimate purpose is to find this guy Tokijin."
"You're looking for Tokijin..." Hattori Heiji blinked.
He felt that the fragmented information in his mind could be pieced together quickly.
"Yes, this guy happened to pass by that villa on his way to the four countries. If you have read the news, you should still have the impression that the case was classified as a secret room murder by him, but he did not leave any words on it. Name."
Koshizui Nanatsuki twitched the corner of his mouth and said mockingly: "It's also thanks to this guy that I have a good friend who works as a maid there, because she and the dead eldest lady were the only two people in the villa when the incident occurred. Because of his relationship, he was identified as a murderer. Finally, he couldn't stand the police's interrogation and committed suicide..."
"I'm sorry," Baima asked, "if such a secret room was really installed at the villa, the police would doubt whether the deceased was a homicide. It should be a normal investigation process, right?"
"Oh, that's right...if it was really a mechanism that was set up at the time of the incident, it can indeed be said to be a secret room murder case."
Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at Tokizu Junya coldly, "I was entrusted by a friend to go to the villa to investigate a month before this guy. I didn't find any clues at all at that time. The young lady must have closed the door by herself. He came to hang himself, but a month later this guy... this guy found the cut screws and the adhesive used to fix the window frame in the grass in the backyard!"
